Thinking of Ernest Hemingway often brings to mind his travels
around the world, documenting war and engaging in thrilling
adventures. However, fully understanding this outsized
international author means returning to his place of birth. Hidden
Hemingway presents highlights from the extraordinary collection of
the Ernest Hemingway Foundation of Oak Park. Thoroughly researched,
and illustrated with more than 300 color images, this impressive
volume includes never-before-published photos; letters between
Hemingway and Agnes Von Kurowsky, his World War I love;
bullfighting memorabilia; high school assignments; adolescent
diaries; Hemingway's earliest published work, such as the "Class
Prophecy" that appeared in his high school yearbook; and even a
dental X-ray. Hidden Hemingway also includes one of the final
letters Hemingway wrote, as he was undergoing electroshock
treatment at the Mayo Clinic. These documents, photographs, and
ephemera trace the trajectory of the life of an American literary
legend. The items showcased in Hidden Hemingway are more than stage
dressing for a literary life, more than marginalia. They provide
definition-and, in some cases, documentation-of Hemingway's
ambition, heartbreak, literary triumphs and trials, and joys and
tragedies. It's Hemingway's stature as a Pulitzer Prize- and Nobel
Prize-winning author that draws so many biographers and historians
to his work. It is also the wealth of material he left behind that
makes him such a compelling, engaging, and often polarizing figure.
For Hemingway, the material he saved was both autobiography and
research. He gathered data and details that made the life lived in
his books more authentic. The authors of Hidden Hemingway have done
the same, telling a life story through items that illuminate
Hemingway's legacy. Some of the material contradicts the public
image that Hemingway built for himself, and some supports his
larger-than-life myth. In all, Hidden Hemingway celebrates the
Ernest Hemingway archives and Oak Park's most famous author.
